I just happened apon a 1927 tall t. I have always wanted to do one of these.
The plan is blown sbc, 6" chop, 32 rails, and black with flames.

Cool Jim , keep us updated on your project. How long you think its gonna take for you to comlete?

Should be fun, keep us posted on the progress. Looks like the coupe is in decent shape.

Just a lil updated pic on da 27. I also found a cool das for it. I dont know what it came from, but it has 1 2" guage holr in the center, and the hole is surrounded by wings, kinda like a vondutch ? Any thoughts?

Might be from an early Henway.

Here is a pic of the dash? Let me know what it is.

First off, it's cool. Didn't want to bite on the Henway huh?

I gotta believe that's from some kind of off road equipment that has an enclosed cab because of the defroster vents. A single instrument would maybe be either an ammeter or oil pressure. Not having a speedo is what leads me to believe it's an offroad piece. Perhaps a tug (you know, like they pull and push aircraft and other things with), or maybe a forklift. I really like a steel dash with debossed patterns in it. So much so, here's the one I'm putting together for the '36 roadster, replaced the three round gauges with this panel taken from another vehicle and welded in. Liked the look of the pressed bezels and the two character lines underneath along with the punched out arrows for the signal indicators.
